5. A 1850 kg luxury sedan stopped at a traffic light is struck from the rear by a compact car with a mass of 975 kg. The two cars become entangled as a result of the collision. The compact car was moving at a velocity of 22.0 m/s to the north before the collision. What is the velocity of the entangled cars after the collision?

Question A puck with mass ma= 0.00242 kg moves eastward with speed va= 1.73 m/s . It then collides with another puck of mass mb= 0.00125 kg and is moving northward with a speed vb = 2.26 m/s After the collision, puck A now moves at 48. 0° north of east, while puck B moves at 17.0° south of east. A. What are the speeds of the two pucks after collision?
A 98.0-kg parts cart with rubber bumpers rolling 1.20 m/s to the right crashes into a similar cart of mass 125 kg moving left at 0.750 m/s. After the collision, the lighter cart is traveling 0.986 m/s to the left. What is the velocity of the heavier cart after the collision?
A 12.0 kg cart moving to the right at 5.0 m/s collides elastically with an 8.0 kg cart at rest. The 12.0 kg cart is moving at 1.0 m/s to the right after the collision. What is the velocity of the 8.0 kg cart after the collision?
A car, with a mass of 1240 kg, is moving towards an intersection at a velocity of 26.6 m/s towards the South. At the intersection, it collides with a truck that has a mass of 1580 kg and is moving with a velocity of 14.0 m/s towards the West. When they collide, the two vehicles stick together. 15. The magnitude of the final velocity for the car and truck is Answer to 3 significant digits. m/s. (Record your answer in the numerical-response section below.) Your answer:
A 2 kg car is traveling at 10 m/s. It collides and sitcks with a 5 kg car traveling the opposite direcyion at 7 m/s. a. Draw an IF Chart for the scenario b. Calculate the total initial momentum c. Calculate the final velocity of the two cars
The figure below shows a bullet of mass 230g traveling horizontally towards the east with a speed of 415m/s, which strikes a block of mass 7.5kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and they begin to move as one unit. A. What is the magnitude (in m/s) and direction of the velocity of the block/bullet unit immediately after the impact? B. What is the magnitude (in N * s) and direction of the of the impulse of the block on the bullet? C. What is the magnitude ( in N *s) and direction of the impulse of the bullet and the block?
